David Hurn’s ‘Swaps’ on Display During The Photography Show 2018

The Photography Show 2018 has partnered with Magnum Photos to bring visitors to the show a unique opportunity to view works by some of the greatest photographers in history, at ‘David Hurn’s Swaps’, an ongoing, touring exhibition from Magnum Photos

Speaking about his unparalleled collection, David Hurn said: “In 1958, a chance encounter in
Trafalgar Square affected my future life. I was photographing the pigeons. Another photographer,
Sergio Larrain, was doing the same. We became close friends and he, later, gave me as a present, my
first collectable prints.”

It’s a real coup for the Photography Show to have landed this outstanding exhibition and visitors to the event should make viewing a priority. What’s more, access to the exhibition is included with show entry tickets.

Martin Parr observed of the collection: “It is very apparent that Hurn has a fine eye for photography. Every
one of the images he has selected is a winner. The images range across the many genres of photography, across the broad spectrum of Magnum photographers.”

David will also conduct private tours of the exhibition for small groups of visitors, on Sunday 18th March at 3pm and 4pm; head over to the Photography Show website to book your place.

The Photography Show’s Event Manager, Ruth Burgess said told PhotoBite: “We are delighted tobe working with Magnum to bring this unique collection to The Photography Show – the whole teamis really excited to share this with our audience”.
